Atalanta vs AS Roma Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

The previous outing between these clubs ended in favour of La Dea.

Atalanta are now gearing up for a face-off against AS Roma in their matchweek 18 contest of the 2025-26 Serie A. This is going to be an intense outing between these sides, which will take place at the New Balance Arena.

La Dea are coming in after facing a 0-1 loss against Inter Milan in their previous league outing. It was a close contest, but Atalanta underperformed, and this led them to drop three points.

They will be at home once again and will be keen to return to winning ways. They are placed 10th on the league table at the moment.

AS Roma are coming in after securing a 3-1 win against Genoa in their last outing. It was a good performance by them, but they still need to work on their defence.

The Giallorossi are in fourth place on the Serie A points table. A win here will be enough to get them mighty close to the top spot. However, the upcoming game is not going to be an easy one for them.

• Location: Bergamo, Italy
• Stadium: New Balance Arena
• Date: Sunday, January 4
• Kick-off Time: 01:15 a.m. IST (Saturday, Jan 3; 07:45 p.m. GMT/ 02:45 p.m. ET/ 11:45 a.m. PT)

Players to Watch

Gianluca Scamacca (Atalanta)

Gianluca Scamacca is going to be one of the main men in the final third for Atalanta BC. Even though he failed to score a goal in the previous fixture, Scamacca is still going to play a crucial part for the visitors. The 27-year-old has scored five goals in 11 league matches this season.

Matias Soule (AS Roma)

Matias Soule scored one of the goals in a 3-1 win in their previous fixture. He will be gearing up yet again to help his side on the attacking front. In 17 Serie A appearances this season, he has scored five goals and has three assists to his name.

He can control the ball well in the midfield and is also sharp up front.
